THE TuWN TREASURER PROVES A nEFAULTER
To THE AMOUNT OF OVER FOURTEEN THOU

The fact became known at the end of
last week that Frank W. Foster, the Green
field town treasurer, was u defaulter to a
considerable amount, an examination by
the auditors showing the exact sum to be
SHOP 80 Mr.. Foster has been "A man of

will come hard ON them to meet this obliga
ton. The Gazette and Courier says:
1T seems that Fosters method of opera
ton was to deposit town cash in the banks
to his own account, or to draw cash from
the town account and after awhile deposit
it to his own, thus avoiding suspicion that
the towns funds were going into the hands
Of New York broker. The large balance
to the credit Of the town resulted from the
vote at the last annual meeting that the net
receipts from bank and corporation taxes
and from license fees should constitute a
fund to he applied to the reduction of the
debt of the town. 1t is the old story Of
small beginnings in wrong doing and then
tine following it up in the hope of winning
and covering up the wrong. But the oppo-
sition played with loaded dice, and every
attempt of Mr.. Foster to eXtricate himself
in this way only sunk him deeper in the
